Criminologia Y Criminalistica Review

Detective Laura Mora hated two things: an unsolved case and a lazy conclusion.

She was staring at the file of the “Northside Arsonist.” Over six months, three historic warehouses had burned down. The latest was El Molino , a century-old grain silo turned art studio. The fire had killed a night watchman, a man named Gerardo.

Marco arrived late, smelling of coffee and old books. He didn’t look at the evidence photos. He looked at the people .

She cross-referenced Ana’s data (paint thinner, soda can shim, stairwell origin) with Marco’s profile (architect, preservationist, angry letters).

Dr. Reyes arrived first, carrying a metal briefcase like a surgeon’s kit. She was quiet, precise, allergic to opinions.

Marco pointed to a map on the wall. “Three warehouses. All historic. All slated for demolition by the city to build a new luxury condo complex. Silvio Herrera owned El Molino . He was fighting the demolition order in court. He was losing.”
